Congratulations to the Gages Creek Herons for winning the 2018 Solheim Cup!

Thanks to all who participated and survived the extreme heat once again! Thanks as well to Sandi MacDonald and Diane Moffat for organizing.

Solheim Update:

Good news, Bad News!

There has been a good number of people signed up for the Solheim Cup for this Saturday, September 15th! The bad news, more Herons than Falcons are able to play this year.

My plan is to make the draw on Thursday. So, to make teams even, some Herons will become Falcons this year. 

Cost is $5...cash.

A message from Games Captain, Barb:

The Women’s Section is selling raffle tickets for a $100 Best Buy Gift Card with all proceeds going to the Golf for the Cure event on Sunday, September 16. Tickets are $5 each and will be sold until Sept 16, and the winner will be drawn on that day. Please see Patty or Barb for tickets. Money from the sale of these tickets, along with $135 raised from the golf scratch tickets we sold at the Devil’s Tournament, will be donated in memory of all our Dalewood golfing friends we have lost to cancer.

Saturday September 8 is the final day eligible for scores to be submitted for the Achievement Boards. You have until Tuesday September 11 to submit your slips for play up until the 8th of Sept.

Obviously this was the best spot on #9 to sink the "longest" putt from - or a new game, croquet-golf.

We were rained out last week, but hot, humid weather greeted us this week for the Devil's Tournament (thanks, Yvonne).

Calling all Herons and Falcons!

Saturday, September 15th 

Tee Times to start at 11:00am

Please see the sign on the bulletin board outside the locker room. Check yes if you are able to attend; no if you cannot play this year. The format will be Front 9 Doubles Match Play; Back 9 Singles Match Play.

If you're not on the list, or have any questions? Contact Sandi at sandi.macw@yahoo.ca.

Check out the new tab at the top on the home page called "Join Us". It has a description of all of our days, events, and tournaments for a quick reference, especially for new members. Thanks to Betty for the idea and Barb for the name.

The weather didn't cooperate with us again this year. The new date for the Devil's Tournament is next Tuesday, Aug 28 (formerly the "Bring a Friend Day" - see below). I hope all of you who signed up can still play and maybe we can get a few more who hadn't signed up. All handicap levels are welcome to play in this event.

To make it easier I have printed the first list. Just check off your name and make your new dinner choice. If your name is not on the list, just add it to the bottom. If you can't play on that date, put a line through your name.

Dinner choices:

In-house made pulled pork on a rustic kaiser with choice of side $12.95 (Add your side choice)

Spaghetti and meatballs served with garlic bread and Parmesan cheese. $14.95

Mexi Cobb Salad - Chili lime chicken with artisan lettuce, avocado, cheese, black beans, tomatoes, corn, red onion, and a cilantro lime dressing.
$14.95

BRING A FRIEND DAY

TUESDAY, SEPT 11

This has been rescheduled from Aug 28, to coincide with our 'Fun Night". Guest fees will be $20 for 9 holes, $30 for 18 holes. Menu service will be available for food. A sign up sheet will appear soon.

Definitely time for a new putter! 

Laurie Pudwell got her putter out on the first hole and it fell apart in her hands. She phoned the pro shop to see if she could get a replacement. Rachel Jackson, also a lefty, let Laurie borrow her putter for the day. Be careful, Rachel, you may have a club missing - Laurie really liked it.

(Nice photo bomb, Dale!)

Next Tuesday, Aug 21, is our annual Devil's Tournament. 

Sign up by Sunday if you want to be part of the fun.

The last Team Play Playoff is Sept 4 - the top three teams are within 16 points. 

Your team needs you!

Congratulations to Joan Hayward who had her 4th hole in one on Saturday on hole #8. Needless to say, it won her a "skin"! Cheers!
